We all know the feeling of waking up at 7am, more tired than you ever imagined to be. You sit up in your bed while the minutes pass, trying to keep your eyes opened. Maybe you shouldn’t have stayed up way too late with the new book you just bought or maybe you should have skipped the latest episode of “Suits” and gone to bed early.

So when you are in the same position as I am every morning you need some tricks to get you going through the whole day.

Have your outfit picked out

The first thing I spot in the morning is my outfit that I picked out for the day neatly folded on my armchair. I mean you need some motivation to get up! If the weather looks different than I expected I always have a back up plan. Next to my outfit there is always a well packed Longchamp bag with everything I need, from hairbrush to notebook.

Pack your bag in advance

Getting your stuff sorted and well packed in your bag can really save time in the morning and get you to your feet. Just grab a water bottle, a snickers and you’re ready to go! Don’t forget to sort your stuff in the bag, especially if you have things than are sensitive like phone or something to eat. I usually pack everything like this: This way I always know where to find everything and don’t have to empty my whole bag.

I took the time to empty my purse, so check out the things I always have with me

I’m really not a morning person and that is why I try to keep things slow in the morning. Having picked out the perfect dress with a black leather jacket and the new flats for a warm spring day saves me at least 15 minutes in which I can concentrate on more important things, like checking my phone. So don’t waste your time in the early hours but try to plan the time you have till your friend picks you up in her new car.
